Subway: how to play
Pick one real line the table actually knows. Say it out loud. Seoul Line 2 is the usual special.
Players
2 or more.
What you need
Voices. No map required, but it helps if somebody’s been on the line.
Setup
Pick one real line the table actually knows. Say it out loud. Seoul Line 2 is the usual special.
How to play
- First person names one station on that line.
- Next person names the next stop. Same line. Same direction. In order.
- Keep riding it down.
Example round
Line 2, start at Gangnam. Then Yeoksam. Then Seolleung. Then Samseong. That’s the local.
When the round ends
You repeat a stop, skip one, or butcher the name, you’re out this round.
Common mistake
Hopping to another line like you own a transfer, or naming a stop that ain’t on this line.
No-alcohol version
Play exactly the same rules with water, soda, tea or no drinks at all. When someone is out this round, they simply sit out, start the next round, or take a light forfeit the table agreed on beforehand — such as choosing the next game or spinning the wheel.
Play responsibly
Soju Playland is for adults. If you choose to drink, you must be of legal drinking age where you are (for example 19 in South Korea and 21 in the United States) — and the site itself is for ages 18 and up. Drinking is never part of the rules: nobody has to drink, a pass is always fine, and water or soda works for every game. Never pressure anyone to drink, never treat these games as a drinking contest, and never drink and drive.
